Busy beaver scouts have been foraging for fresh fruit to donate to elderly folk.
The 15th Middlesbrough Beaver Scouts delivered the box to the residents of Oaklea Nursing Home in Linthorpe.
The youngsters are currently working on the Chief Scout’s Bronze Award - the highest they can gain.
In order to attain the award, they must complete six challenges by the time they join Cub Scouts. Part of this involves helping the community.
Lesley Firman, section leader of the beaver scouts who are based at St Barnabas Church Hall, said: “To this end we decided we would like to donate and present a box of fresh fruit to the care home’s residents.
“All of the beavers were involved in making up the box, with three having been chosen to take and present the fruit - Louie Fish, Takumi Renwich and Janaid Wallace.
“They were chosen by the leadership team due to the excellent behaviour they have shown.”
Matron at the home, Elaine Bloomer said: “It’s lovely that they thought of us. The fruit was well-received and appreciated and the kids who brought it along were great.”
